Cup never ending project!!



  Mondeo TDCI 130
Right, i decided it was time to start!! As i am sure some of you are aware, i bought 197gaz's old cup back in may 07, but it had gone through a fair few transformations before then!!

I will try and remember it all, sure gaz wont mind me stealing some shots!!

Purchased originally by gaz in dec 04, with 30 k on the clock, first mods were eibach springs fitted by myself, due to lack off drop these didnt last long, gaz coilovers and wheel refurb followed soon, and a magnex cat back was added!

The gaz coilies soon went to make way for H&R's, one rear gaz shock pissed its fluid out straight away, and they were too harsh / knocked and banged!!

Then september 05 it suffered a setback, gaz had a head on with a parked vovlo, he turned a bend to meet it parked facing him and a 4x4 coming the other way!! resulting in me having to tow it home, and having to have a new front end!! no pics though unfortunately!!:dapprove:

H&R'd with CAF.

Then december 05, fog lights removed and caf fitted, and some new seating!!:cool:

Then we went on a road trip to prospeed, iirc it was snowing, we got stuck on the motorway in a huuuuge pile up and were late, ended up with the following :

New wheel was fitted, still have this at the min! :

Then we had a set back.... somebody (no names are mentioned) decided he had a rattle in the roof lining, after a lip with a screwdriver, we were fitting a new one!!!!

Then went back to standard rims, and had matched inlets from Mr R :

Then it had one final spring clean by gaz, done 72K by this time! :

lovely cup there mate, nice knowing that much of its history too.
Just wondering why you took the 2118's off for the turini's. looks or did you notice the weight of the speedlines.
 
i think i got the 2118's from this car back in 2006 from Gaz! should look good when you get to fit the new bits to it!

Excellent project!!! But that valver phase I is something really special...

By replacing the seats and the steering wheel with no airbags how do you bypass the dashboard lights?

Few more clean piccies :

The car is just a toy for me, i use a van everyday, don't drink or smoke etc, so spend free cash on the motor! only a summer toy aswell.

Then i got a bit bored, with all the 197 love about, i was tempted to change, but decided against it, it would mean borrowing ££, so i thought i would spend a few dollars on the cup.

Moved the battery into the boot, its not finished yet, have a battery box to fit when she returns! :

Then it was several phone calls to Ben@Angelworks, and off it trundled to cambridge, originally just for ITB's, but during the work we have opted for cams aswell, as i am sure ben will admit, due to his perfection, he aint the quickest!! If he isnt 100% happy, it comes apart.

There are some new bits coming aswell, they will be revealed when it returns, Ben is hoping it to be a first. (As he has taken it on himself to make the tidyest conversion ever), secretly, i think he wants it!:eek:

Pic from AWT :

and the last time i took some piccies, seems a VERY long time ago!;) :

So, at the minute thats here, BUT when it returns, i have loads of bits to fit, cage, new exhaust, new spoiler, new rear bumper and some other treats!!:cool:

Gaz still owned it then mate, think he just got bored of them to be honest, keeping them clean was a nightmare, and he likkes clean!!!

Correct matey!:)

what happened to the valver, looked uber mint!!

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=192001

Have a look in there mate, picked it up of ebay for £750!! Was a steal, needed a few tiny jobs. was a clean one!

Excellent project!!! But that valver phase I is something really special...

By replacing the seats and the steering wheel with no airbags how do you bypass the dashboard lights?

If you have a search around mate, you put resistors inline, to trick the air bag system into thinking its there! Just works off resistance!:)


Cheers for all the comments people!:D
